Man City is scattered around New York City

For the club’s trip to the States (and the announcement of NYC FC), 85 Man City-themed posters designed by Luke Barclay were just put up across Manhattan and Brooklyn.

As he walked off the pitch one last time, it’s clear how much he loved the game. [GIFs by Dale con Comba]
